For sale:

1 pair of Men's Frye Arkansas Mid Lace Boots in size 9. These are great boots, but I've got to clear things out. They are less than one year old.

The regular details:

-Made in the USA
-Size 9D
-Pebble full grain leather
-Pull tab in back Elasticized side inserts for easy on/off
-5 1/2" tall (leather upper)
-6 1/2" tall from heel

The special details:

-Vibram wedge sole. I had my cobbler replace the standard sole and raised heel with a Vibram wedge sole. I find them more practical and comfortable to walk in with the wedge. The wedge was attached properly (ie, stitched on, not just glued. In addition, the cobbler removed the cardboard-type material mid-sole and replaced it with real cork.)

-These are used boots. They show the usual signs of wear (ie, they are broken in and have a few scuffs/nicks, though not deep, on the toes).

-The only things of note are that the thin foam padding Frye puts on the footbed has a few little chunks missing, but with a smooth leather insole on top (I'd recommend this regardless), it's unnoticeable; and the right boot has a small gouge in the leather upper, about 1/2" long by 1/4" wide. It does not go through the leather and should pose no problem. In addition, it should be invisible when the boots are worn, unless you tuck your pants into them. (It's about 1.5" from the top of the boot.)

-Treated only with Sno-Seal, clean and ready to wear.

These boots are made in the USA, look great and retail for nearly $270. Considering that the resoling cost $60 and shipping to the US and Canada is free, $150 is a sweet deal.

Hit me up with any questions. If you live outside of North America, please inquire about shipping, but I prefer to ship within North America. PayPal accepted.

Cheers
